New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie showed a crowd Tuesday who is the boss after he went head to head with a woman questioning whether Christie is allowed to play music by “The Boss” — Bruce Springsteen.

At a town hall event in Long Branch, New Jersey, a woman in the crowd who identified herself as a Springsteen fan said she was under the impression that the native New Jersey singer asked that Christie not play his music at events “because he doesn’t believe in [Christie’s] politics.”

“No, never did that,” Christie shot back, according to an NJ.com video of the exchange. “Nah, you’re wrong about that. Bruce has never asked me to do that. He never has. No, you’re wrong. In fact, I saw Bruce just about a week and a half ago.”

The woman then asked whether Christie was dancing with singer Jon Bon Jovi in the Hamptons over the weekend. The governor corrected the woman, saying he was dancing with Jamie Foxx.

“So if you’re going to be cute we should get the story right,” Christie said.

As the conversation continued, Christie interrupted and said, “Nah, listen. I know [Springsteen], and you’re wrong … you’re now expressing your politics and your objection, and that’s fine. Don’t put it in Mr. Springsteen’s mouth. Put it in yours.”

Christie then turned to the audience and joked about the heated exchange.

“When I leave, just so we can have this lady be a little calmer, let’s play Bon Jovi on the way out so she’s a little calmer,” Christie said.

“’Wanted Dead or Alive’!” the woman shouted, referring to a popular Bon Jovi song.

“Speak your mind, be angry or not, it doesn’t matter to me,” Christie said. “I have a job to do.”
